External thing-at-point-utils.el provides

(defun ar-hide-string-atpt (&optional arg)
  "Hides STRING at point. "
  (interactive "P")
  (ar-th-hide 'string))

(defun ar-show-string-atpt (&optional arg)
  "Shows hidden STRING at point. "
  (interactive "P")
  (ar-th-show 'string))

Remains to write some function traveling the buffer and picking 
docstring-sections
